From Farm to Product - Beyond Farming
We have been working with Gut&Bösel, a family farm an hour east of Berlin, for about two years. The dedicated team at the agricultural, forestry and research company researches and develops various methods of regenerative, multifunctional agriculture on 3,000 hectares. From holistic pasture management, composting and agroforestry systems to forest restoration, the development of their own tree nursery and innovative software and technology, their commitment knows no bounds.
The overall aim of this work is to understand how large-scale agriculture can be transformed in the future, and how healthy and resilient ecosystems can be created through sustainable use.
Central to this vision is the use of grazing livestock to help regenerate soils and support biodiversity. But the appreciation of the animals does not end at the pasture. Every few weeks, one of the grazing cattle is shot - without stress, with great respect and calm. The animal is then handed over to the trusted hands of a certified organic abattoir in the country.
The hides are preserved at the farm. We have them turned into beautiful natural leather and high quality products on behalf of Gut&Bösel. From credit card wallets and belts to ninja colts- each piece tells the story of a sustainable cycle based on respect for people, animals and nature.
In a world that is increasingly facing the challenges of climate change and environmental protection, Gut&Bösel's work is a wonderful example of how innovative agriculture can not only meet our need for high-quality products, but also protect our environment and preserve it for future generations.
